Client Choice Pantry Shelf Talker Posters

Posting nutrition education messages around the pantry is one strategy client-choice pantries can use to encourage clients to make healthy choices.
These downloadable Client-Choice Pantry Shelf Talkers developed by MSU Extension can be printed and posted on shelves around the pantry so that clients see them as they “shop.”
Each poster shares a different nutrition education message focused on a specific food or food group. To be most effective, they should be:
- Placed at eye level near the food item or food group they reference
- Large enough for clients to easily read from a few feet away
Although the posters can be used in a traditional pantry setup, they are most effective in client-choice pantries by “nudging” clients to make a healthy choice at the same time as they are selecting their food.
